Sustainability / CO₂ report
How much CO₂ do you save
with motorless desks?
Configure your project and get an estimate of the CO₂ savings when you choose 2WFX motorless height-adjustable desks over electric. Numbers based on public EPDs + Humanscale Float LPC data. Usable for DGNB/LEED specs, public tender documentation and sustainability accounting.
Configure your project
Three numbers - one estimate.
Typical corporate fit-out: 50-500 desks
DGNB/LCA standard: 10 years. Electric desks typically replaced every 8-12 years (motor/electronics fail). Manual: 15-25+ years.

How the numbers are calculated
Electric desk: ~120 kg CO₂e embedded (motor, transformer, control box, frame, top) × desks + 50% extra for 1 replacement within years + operating (~0.12 kg CO₂e/desk/yr at Danish grid mix 120 g/kWh).
2WFX motorless desk: ~85 kg CO₂e embedded (Constant Force Spring mechanism, no electronics, FSC oak top) × desks. Zero operating. Expected lifetime 15-25+ years.

Important caveat: Numbers are estimates based on industry EPDs and literature. No public EPD exists yet for the 2WFX frame specifically; EN 15804+A2 EPD certification via EPD Danmark is in progress. Use the report as decision support, not final documentation.

Products contributing to the savings
Three motorless workstations from the range.
The numbers above are based on our standard portfolio. Woody is the sit-stand flagship with Constant Force Spring. Organic I and Nesting Table cover meeting tables and flex workstations.
Sit-stand desk / Flagship
Woody
Silent height adjustment from 670 to 1080 mm. No motors, no cables, no batteries. FSC-certified Danish oak top, oil-rubbed.
Workstation / I-base
Organic I
Same engineering as Organic H, smaller floor footprint. For high-density layouts where every square metre is specified.
Modular workspace
Nesting Table
Tables built to be reconfigured weekly - or hourly. Casters, folding tops, and stackable bases for spaces that change layout on demand.
Why 2WFX motorless desks
Three reasons for the lower CO₂ footprint.
1. No motor
Constant Force Spring mechanism instead of an electric motor. Result: no transformer, no control box, no cables, no electronics to fail. Fewer components = lower embedded CO₂.
2. 3x longer lifetime
Electric desks are typically replaced every 8-12 years when motor/controllers fail. Motorless mechanism lasts 15-25+ years. Over a 20-year horizon: 2 electric vs 1 manual = half the production.
3. Danish manufacturing + FSC-certified
Certified Chain of Custody by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC® C131960, valid through Sep 2026). Oak tops are FSC-certified from Danish forests. Pursuing EN 15804+A2 EPD certification via EPD Danmark - planned completion 2026.
